Post Covers in the Era of Downton Abbey
We’re just as excited as you are about the return of Downton Abbey tonight, and while we may not have chronicled the lives of Downton’s famous blue-blooded family (they are, after all, fictional) we were around at the turn of the century to capture the essence of the period on our covers.
These 30 vintage illustrations from the 20s to 1930 show the posh taste in fashion and style that you’ve likely seen Lady Mary and Lady Edith wearing on the show. (We think some of these models even look a bit like the ladies of Downton!)
